A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For much of the twentieth century it was common to contrast the characteristic forms and preoccupations of modern ethical theory with those of the ancient world. However, the last few decades have seen a growing recognition that contemporary moral philosophy now has much in common with its ancient incarnation, in areas as diverse as virtue ethics and ethical epistemology. Christopher Gill has assembled an international team to conduct a fascinating exploration of the relationship between the two fields, exploring key issues in ancient ethics in a way that highlights their conceptual significance for the study of ethics more generally. Virtue, Norms, and Objectivity will be as interesting and relevant to modern moral philosophers, therefore, as it will to specialists in ancient thought.

Revue de presse

The professional status of the authors and the quality of their contributions are extremely high. This is a volume worth reading from cover to cover. (Richard Kraut, Philosophical Quarterly)

Ancient philosophy continues to play an important role in several areas of contemporary ethical theory and [this volume], well produced and equipped with serviceable indices, helps to show why that should be the case (Brad Inwood, Bryn Mawr Classical Review)
